Moving data from MS SQL to MySQL

Very neat that you can do this. Would not have guessed it.

"To move data from Sql Server to MySQL, it is certainly possible to use tools that can make connections to both data stores and manipulate data that way, such as Access, Excel, or SSIS. Here I will introduce a process that does not need any special tools or data drivers. Instead, we can use the utilities and methods that come with a standard Sql Server and MySQL install to accomplish that task."
